Bunion pads are used to relieve pressure from the hump on the side of your great toe joint when it rubs against a shoe. Bunion pads come in a variety of styles and can be found in the pharmacy’s foot care section, in catalogs, and online. All of them are made to protect the bunion from the side of the shoe.
Bunion cushions are made from a range of materials; gel, foam, and felt are some examples. Some adhere using glue, while others do not. A gel bunion cushion with a gentle loop around the great toe is the finest pad for my patients.
Bunion cushions do not provide relief for everyone, but they can assist delay bunion surgery. If you have a painful bunion on your feet, contact Dr. Shobowale for a thorough examination and treatment prescription.
